Motor vehicle owners responsibility:

Owning a Motor Vehicle in Fiji can be exciting and rewarding, if you make sure that it is properly maintained, regularly washed and is made to comply with the legislation currently in place.

A properly maintained motor vehicle will ensure that the service it provides is always first class, because it is receiving the proper technical and mechanical attention it needs. By the same token a regular wash up gets rid of dirt that could turn into rust and assist in the corrosion of the motor vehicle.

That motor vehicle can only be allowed to run on any Fiji road if it has the proper papers which signifies that it has fully complied with the law in that it now has a Certificate of Fitness.

It is the responsibility of the motor vehicle owner to ensure that the vehicle is fully registered with a valid third party policy to safeguard its passengers.

Motor vehicle owners are therefore warned that you will have to pay fines and penalties if the LTA’s current operation finds your vehicle running on the roads while it is unregistered.

Any unregistered motor vehicle caught by LTA enforcement officers will be impounded, which means the owners will have to pay extra because of other service charges they will incur.

Section 49 (1) of the Land Transport Act 1998 specifies that all motor vehicle and trailer must be registered irrespective of whether trailer and, or, the motor vehicle is to be used exclusively on a private property.

Section 49 (3) makes it an offence for a motor vehicle owner to drive an unregistered vehicle anywhere in the country and is liable, on conviction, to the prescribed penalty.

The prescribed penalty for driving an unregistered motor vehicle is $200 spot fine for the first offence and $300.00 for any subsequent offence. It also awards 1 and 2 demerit points respectively.

Other fees you will have to pay, if your motor vehicle is impounded includes the following:

Impounding Fees

$72.00

Arrears in Wheeltax [calculated according to the basis of the engine cc and duration of expiry days]

SPEED AND ROAD SAFETY:
Speeding continues to be major factor in road crashes, so slow down and save lives!

BE AWARE OF THE FACTS ABOUT SPEEDING!

CHOOSE A SAFE SPEED FOR THE CONDITIONS:Speed limits are the maximum travel speed for any road. In many conditions, you should travel at a lower speed-such as in bad weather, after dark, in heavy traffic, on unfamiliar, winding or narrow roads.

REMEMBER TO CHOOSE A SAFE SPEED FOR THE DRIVING CONDITIONS

SPEEDING INCREASE CRASHES:You are more likely to crash if you exceed the speed limit or drive at a speed that is not appropriate for the conditions.

As your speed increases, you have a less time to react to emergencies and it takes a greater distance to stop. Other road users also find it more difficult to judge how fast you are traveling.
